What it’s like
The place. Dunmor is a very small community in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, with far fewer people than most towns. Homes here are modestly priced, and household incomes across the county sit below the national picture. Winters are cold, with only a little snow, and summers turn hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, retail and the building trades. Across Muhlenberg County, the largest workplaces include Muhlenberg County Schools, Muhlenberg Community Hospital and Walmart. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Lake Malone and Lake Malone State Park are a short drive away, a lake and a protected area for time on the water and outdoors. Farther afield, Lost River Cave is a protected area, and the South Union Shaker Center House and Preservatory is a museum, both a longer drive away.
